I knew there was going to be a lot of work to make that positive change stick for the long haul, watching the Obamas celebrate on Election Night 2008. But seeing them that night - and a lot of the eight years that followed - helped me keep on coping with the Bad Stuff coming from Stephen Harper's prime ministerial desk. It helped by reminding me that the Bad Stuff wasn't going to last. Obama being in the White House - flaws and all - helped keep me sane enough to keep going.

We've still got work to do, and we still have reasons to keep doing it. All over the world.

Looking at this from north of the border, and I just know there are people in Canada who want to drag us down similar roads. Sooner than later.

As mentioned before, there have been years when it was hard to get through the Season. And such years will no doubt come again, on whatever schedule suits them.

[livejournal.com profile] ms_danson just pointed out something worth looking at for those times when it does, for whatever reason(s) end up applying in your respective cases.

Please have a look. Just in case.

...before I rejoin the ranks of the un(der)employed again.

Yes, again.

It's become somewhat damaging to what peace of mind there is in this skull of mine, never mind the financials over the years. But it seems that a great many of us across the planet are still Expected to bear such burdens as part of the Price of Employability.

Pfah.

Anyway, the weekend was good in several senses: educational, entertaining, with a fair bit of travelling involved. Three Jane's Walk-affiliated tours of as many neighbourhoods: ByWard Market, Old Ottawa South and New Edinburgh. Roughly 350 photos of varying levels of quality taken in the course of those, from which I hope to cull a sufficient number to be of help on Flickr and possibly to a couple of publications as well. We'll see how that goes over the course of the next week.

The resumption of allergic reactions made enjoying the walking tours a bit more difficult than would have been preferred. But it should be over and done in a couple of additional weeks, if everything sticks to established patterns.

Speaking of travel plans: over on meetup.com, I've got movie dates set for the Ottawa SF Society re: Iron Man 3 (this upcoming Friday) and Star Trek 12 (two Fridays thereafter). Hoping to lock in a 2D-format showing as close to 7 PM as humanly possible, and keeping an eye on both the Silver City Gloucester and World Exchange Empire theatre complexes to that end. The meetup.com dates are officially set for Silver City, but that's subject to amendment.

More as it comes to mind...
